To add to the "interesting facts". I was reliably informed by an expert on the matter, that the trick with alligator wrestling is that the brain cavity of an alligator is much larger than its brain, so when wrestling an alligator the trick is to turn the animal on its back, its brain moves enough to cause the animal to fall unconscious. Apparently wrestling with a crocodile is not recommended as the brain cavity and brain are a tighter fit and a state of slumber is not, rarely even, guaranteed! I can't say that I am too keen on finding out, if he is right.
Now, back to kilts!
